Odds & Sods

My startpage of choice, Netvibes, has tied up a deal with Los Angeles Times to put “Add to Netvibes” buttons on latimes.com, allowing users to easily add the site’s RSS feeds to their personal Netvibes page with a single click. Netvibes will also publish the Los Angeles Times’ 89 RSS feeds on the Netvibes Ecosystem, providing users with the same one-click process for adding the publishers’ feeds.

All-Purpose BiblioBlawg is a new blog from Meg Kribble: “a new law librarian, on my first gig as a reference librarian at the Nova Southeastern University Law Library in south Florida”. Welcome to the fray Meg.

Kathy Sierra: Sure you can’t have failed to have heard about this one. Kathy’s post ; Chris Locke view. My support is with Kathy (hard not to be if you read some of the comments) whilst appreciating that there are always two or more sides to a story and the perception and meaning of things can be different for different people, and that sometimes you can give people more power by taking the bait. Her post, did at least, illicit an apology from the man who had posted the following comment on a previous blog post “fuck off you boring slut… i hope someone slits your throat and cums down your gob”. He apparently ‘meant no harm’. What a charmer. UPDATE: I recommend this piece by Cyndy Aleo-Carreira which is very well reasoned view on the whole situation.
